A OIL-BURNER.

To @ZZ whom t may concern;

citizen ofthe United States, residing at Broken Bow, in the county of Custer and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and useful Oil-Burner; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and'exact description of the invention, such as will appertains to make and usethe same.

This invention relates to an 011 burner,

and an object of the invention is to provide pair of burner `tubes including an interv lmediate inlet` burner tube, which connects the transverse end couplers of the pair of burner tubes, in combination with an improved generator' having its outlet end interposed between tivo sections ofthe4 intermediate inlet tube, and through which burner the fuel passes, which'fuel or oil, is under pressure, and as it enters the sectionsof the intermediate inlet tube, it mixes with and draws air into the intermediate tube. In other words, the fuel or oil siphons into the intermediate' tube, andbyvirtue of the re'- fractory members the oil streamA is broken or divided quickly, so that the 'oil is readily vaporized by the heat of the burner.

Another object of the invention is'to provide a generator consisting of a tube com-l prising a plurality of coils','throu`ghwh1ch d whereas the body .portion of the tube 27 avis sure. Fig. 2'is a planview, showing parts4 broken away, and parts in section. Fig. 8-

is a sectional view on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Referring tothe drawings, 1 designates aV conventional form of stove or range having a fire box 2, in which the oil burner is arranged. The oil burner comprises three burner tubes, two outside burner tubes 4 and 5, and the intermediate burner tubes 6, all of which are arranged in parallelism substantially. The outside burner tubes have their ends threaded as shown at 7, and connecting the threaded ends are the transverse Specification of Letters Patent.

coupler tubes 8 and 9. The intermediate in` let tube fconsists of two sectionsl() and 11, disposed axially, and have their adjacent cap members 12 and'l (which are provided with adjacent reduced lshort extensions 14 and 15) spaced apart, as shownfclearlyin Figs. V2 and 8, so that the openings-16 ofthe outlet end 17l of the generator 18may assume a position between the reduced extensions 14 and 1,5 and alined therewith. By, thisV arrangement the fuel'ori oil `from the generator emanates from vthe openingsin oppositeldi-l rections and siphons with the air through said reduced extensions.

ThesectionlO of the inter mediate inlet tube is provided with perforatlons 21, and has one of its ends connected y The oil stream asv it enterssaidsections 10 and 11, through the 'reduced extensions is divided or broken quickly by theperforate'drefractory 'Inernto the coupler tube 9,v by means of 'thenippl'e bers'26 and 27 rlhe generator 18 yconsists of a fine -tube 27,- having one end connected to a suitable or conventional form of valve 28,

constructed into a plurality of generator coils 29, through which'the fuell or oil passes to reach the outlet end 17. Connected to the `valve 28 in any suitable manner, as shown at 30, so that the-oilor lfuel may be controlled by the valve proper, (not shown) is what may be termed a` wire oil tube 31, kwhich in turn is connected to an air pressure kerosene tank 32, as shown at 33, or may be connected j f to vany other suitable source of supply.

y The other section 11 of theintermediate "l V'inlet tube is connected tothe transverse f 97o l' I The fuel or oil under pressure leaves the generator coils, by w'ay of the openings 16,

and vis siphoned in 1 conjunction with air` through the extensions, 1,4 and 15,',then aH flame from any suitable sourcemay be held over the perforationsv ofV 'theintermediate tube 6 and adjacent thev perforations of the of the gases.` The continuous iiow of the the oil stream or fuel is divided or broken by'virtue of theperforat'ed refractory memlbers 19 and 20, so that the oilis readily Y tubes4 and A5, thereby causing an ignition` vaporized by the heat of the burner andthe refractory material of the members 19 and 20. lin operation there is enough air entering the perforations of the tubes 4, 5 and 6 to mix with the fuel and partly combuste ing, thereby maintaining the refractory members 19 and 20, and 26 and 27 in a highly heated condition. By this form of burner a sufficient quantity of heat may be generated for any suitable stove or range,

for cooking purposes.

After the burner has been lighted, there is enough heat therefrom, to heat the coils of the generator, thereby partially generating the oil into gas, which as it leaves the outlet end 17 of the generator, is siphoned with air through the extensions 14 and 15.

It is to be understood that the refractory members 19 and 20, 26 andv27 may be dispensed with, in which case the oil burner will operate equally as well.

The invention having been set forth, what is claimed as new and useful ist* Y 1. An oil burner comprising outer parallel perforated burner tubes, transverse coupler tubes connecting the ends of said outer perforated tubes, an intermediate inlet perforated tube consisting of two sections, one section being connected to`one coupler tube, and the otherv to the opposite coupler tube, said sections being alined and having their adjacent ends provided with reduced eXtensions spaced apart from each other, and a generator coil receiving fuel from any suitably supply and having its outlet end provided with openings alined with said reduced extensions.

2. An oil burner comprising outer parallel` aleasve perforated burner tubes, transverse coupler tubes connecting the ends of said outer perforated tubes, an intermediate inlet perforated tube consisting of two sections, one see tion being connected to one coupler tube, and the other to the opposite coupler tube, said sections being alined and having their adjacent ends provided with reduced eXtensions spaced apart from each other, and a generator coil receiving fuel from any suitable supply'and having its outlet end provided with openings alined with said re r duced extensions, and refractory members arranged in said tubes.

3. An oil burner comprising outer parallel perforated burner tubes, U-shaped coupler tubes connecting the adjacent ends of said burner tubes, an intermediate sectional inlet perforated tube connecting said coupler tubes, and a generator comprising a tube turned into a plurality of coils arranged immediately above the sectional intermediate perforated tube and between the outer tubes to become heated from the burner tubes, said generator having its outlet end provided with openings, said outlet end being interposed between the adjacent ends of the sections of theinterme diate tube with the` openings alined with said sections.
